In 2018, in the midst of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and earning their ISO 27001 certification, ORTEC made a bold decision in order to optimize their own business processes: stop using email and spreadsheets to manage global governance, risk, and compliance (GRC).
